A perfect mix of knowledge, humor and enthusiasm. We would recommend this tour without hesitation to absolutely everyone. An outstanding experience!

Annette has given us an AMAZING tour! She is very spontanous, witty AND knowledgeable - and has the talent to be an actress :-) She told us about the Gladiators and events in the Colosseum in a colourful way, evoking all our senses - getting us to imagine, act and feel. Our 13 - year old twins didn't complain once, in 3 and a half hours - they were all the time engaged, fascinated or laughing about Annettes jokes. The whole group of 17 was having a very good time. Also the Forum Roman, the basilika are SOOO incredible. Well, we are very happy and grateful to have been on your tour!
Susi, our Tour Guide, was excellent with a high degree of connection with our group. She pointed out many details that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. She anticipated many questions and volunteered answers. I’m sure we learned twice as much as we would have with just the regular tour!
Great guide, great and funny experience! Totally worth it. I learned a lot of interesting facts, while still being entertained
Excellent tour with many explanations and interesting discussions with our super guide Paola. We saw quite a few exciting monuments and took many good fotos.
The best tour with the best guide Susi. Refreshing in her really good explanations and with the water sprayer.
Our tour guide Maria was very friendly, she knew everything about the buildings,structures and the people and technologies it took to build them. Very interesting from start to finish.
It was a fantastic and an entertaining experience with Susi!! We really enjoyed the tour. She gave us lots of historical information in such a special way that even the kids enjoyed it and participated! I definitely recommend Die Deutsche Römerin!! Thanks for the great tour Susi!! Bis zum nächsten Mal. Arrivederchi. Hasta la próxima 😊 Luis Gamboa
We had the best experience while walking through the colosseum as well as the forum romanum and listening to the incredible history of Rome. Most of it depended on our guide Matteo. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew so many anecdotes, it was amazing! We had lots of fun and enjoyed the tour from the first to the last minute.
Die Tour hat uns und den Kindern super gefallen und uns allen viel Spaß gemacht. Annette hat alles toll erklärt, man merkt ihr die Begeisterung für Rom und seine Geschichte wirklich an. Die Tour hat sogar fast 30 Minuten länger gedauert als geplant, da die Kinder viele Fragen gestellt haben und alle beantwortet wurden. Die Tour ist wirklich weiter zu empfehlen.
Unser Reiseführer Giancarlo hat sehr kurzweilig, mit einer Portion Humor und viel Hintergrundwissen durch Kolloseum und Forum Romanum geführt. Schön fanden wir, dass er alle Kinder miteinbezogen hat.
We had a great tour with Giancarlo through the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. He made the tour very interesting, entertaining, and lively. In particular, he knew very well how to involve the children in the group in the tour and get them excited about the content. Giancarlo is a lovely tour guide whose enthusiasm is contagious. Absolutely recommended!
We had Giancarlo as a tour guide and we can only recommend him. Very nice and told us a lot.
Susi was very great. I am only 12 years old, but Susi explained it so well that I could understand it too and told so many interesting things about it that it never got boring. Top, top, top.
Susi is not just a tour guide, she lives and loves her job – and you notice that from the first moment! ❤️ With an incredible amount of passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge, she brings Rome closer to you. She does not just tell facts, but brings the history of Rome to life and manages to really infect you with her enthusiasm. You can feel that she does not just practice her profession, but does it with all her heart. At the same time, she is pleasant, warm, committed, and full of energy. Anyone who really wants to get to know Rome and not just check off sights is in exactly the right place with Susi! We would take a tour with her again at any time and can recommend her from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you, dear Susi, for this unforgettable experience! You are something very special with your passion! 🇮🇹❤️ All the best for your new path in life!
Giancarlo was our guide, he was very informative, entertaining, and he involved the participating kids wonderfully - highly recommended!
Susi, our guide, has apparently been doing the job for 7 years and still lives for it with heart and soul. She brings both the Colosseum and the Forum so close to you with her stories that it feels like you are standing right in the middle of it. Thank you for a perfectly organized and guided tour!
I would give more stars if the option existed. A unique experience was offered to us. I would recommend this tour to everyone, and specifically a tour with Susi. She has an exciting way of storytelling and compact, detailed knowledge. She deconstructs historical misconceptions and reconstructs historical awareness in an unmistakable way. The tour is well-planned and structured from beginning to end. Funny and heartwarming, thank you very much!
The tour was consistently exciting, varied, and entertaining. It was less about dates and more about stories and connections, so that even the children (10 and 12) listened attentively and were able to take a lot away with them. We can definitely recommend the guide Giancarlo.
Susi was great! Very informative! She managed to turn the many stones into a story, very nice information about small details!
Super great, informative, and entertaining tour! Susi is the best
No room for improvement. The best tour there is.
Susi's tour - a "highlight", simply entertaining, amusing and informative!!! Thank you!
Susi presented a great deal of information in a very exciting and realistic way. She appealed to both adults and children and knew how to keep her audience in a good mood and attentive with wit. She answered questions with impressive background knowledge. Definitely a recommendation!
Super tour through the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Susi in particular gave us a great insight into everything you need to know about both places! Would do it again with her anytime.
Susi really did an excellent job! She guided us through the crowds with experience and wit and always found a great spot where she could explain everything to us in peace. Our 7-year-old son was never bored, he asked a lot of questions and always got an answer. We all enjoyed it! A great experience and highly recommended!
Great and very lively tour with Annett, who made our time in the Colosseum & Roman Forum fly by super fast. Highly recommended - the kids were also thrilled - Thank you Annett, it was a lot of fun
Thank you Annett, it was great and you are super!!! A born storyteller! We learned so much through you and your information was so vivid that our imagination traveled back to that time. We can recommend the tour to everyone!
Both the history of Rome and that of the gladiators are vividly told
The tour guide (Giancarlo) was such a friendly, likable, and warmhearted man who, on one hand, understood how to bring the love for his profession and his hometown close to us, and on the other hand, how to re-engage the children who were partially bored by history. The three-hour tour flew by. We would definitely do a tour with Giancarlo again.
Giancarlo was brilliant, lively, funny, and out and about with us with so much knowledge. It was a few hours that will remain unforgettable. Thank you for your time. We could have listened for hours more. The entire process with the German Roman was perfect. Booking and information about the procedures were clear and unambiguous. If we travel to Rome again - and all roads lead to Rome, after all - then we will book another tour with the German Roman again. Keep it up. Thanks again Ciao
Giancarlo did a great job and it was very entertaining and interesting. He was able to inspire. It was way too short 😊
It was a very vivid and lively tour with Susi. We didn't have to worry about anything and immersed ourselves in the world of ancient Rome. Many thanks for the special day. Felix and Julia
We had a wonderful morning with Giancarlo in the Basilica of San Clemente, the Colosseum, and the Roman Forum. Giancarlo captivated us, and especially our 10-year-old son. Absolutely recommended.
An unforgettable Rome highlight – Absolute heartfelt recommendation! We had an absolutely fantastic tour today at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with the provider "Deutschen Römerin" and are completely thrilled! Everything was perfectly organized in advance: The tickets were completely taken care of for us, so we didn't have to worry about anything. On-site, there were absolutely no lines – we were able to enjoy the smooth, well-structured process from the very first minute. A huge compliment goes to our great guide ANNETT! With her warm, fun, and incredibly likable manner, she engaged us right from the start. She conveyed history not only with interesting facts, but brought it to life through an impressive storytelling style and great visual illustrations. You could really experience the history emotionally. We would especially like to highlight how great the tour was for children – an absolute recommendation for families! It was designed to be so varied and exciting that there was never a dull moment. Our only criticism: The 3 hours just went by way too fast! It was a total pleasure for us. Many thanks for this unforgettable experience—worth every cent!
It was a great tour with lots of information that was told in an exciting and entertaining way. It was a really great tour for children and adults. Many thanks to Annett! We are happy to recommend your team!
The Deutsche Römerin team provided us with an exciting and comprehensive insight into Roman history on site. Our guide Mira was not only knowledgeable and able to answer all questions in detail, but also shone with humor, acting talent, and a love for children. Thanks for that and keep it up for the next guests! 🔝
We took a 3-hour tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Basilica San Clemente with Giancarlo. We booked directly through the tour operator, which was great because we were in direct contact with the organizers, Matthias and Annett, via WhatsApp. The two of them took great care of us, answered all our questions in advance, and tailored the tour perfectly for us and our 3 kids (7, 9, and 11 years old); I haven't experienced that with any other provider. Matthias and Annett also advised us on other points of our trip and supported us in our planning—that was super helpful. Our guide Giancarlo exceeded all expectations and led us through Rome for more than 3 hours. Giancarlo loves the city and his enthusiasm is contagious. He managed to get all 3 children excited and shared so much with us about Rome and its history—we enjoyed every minute and can wholeheartedly recommend Giancarlo. That is not something you take for granted, especially with children of different ages. The Basilica San Clemente in particular thrilled us all—an absolute hidden gem and, thanks to Giancarlo's tour, super exciting for all of us. We would love to come back and can recommend Giancarlo and the tour operator in every respect.
We did a total of 4 (private) tours with the tour operator 'Deutsche Römerin'. The tours had been planned according to our wishes and all guides were very good. Giancarlo really topped it all off on Wednesday. The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill came to life through his storytelling. And he always found a new corner for a new story that needed to be told. Everything was super organized. Thanks to the team and THANK YOU GIANCARLO! C. & M.
Mega beautiful and very entertaining event. We saw a lot of Rome where you actually don't see anything from the outside and would have just walked by. The finish at the ice cream parlor was just another really great highlight! Aweeeesome!
Great tour, the 3 hours went by so fast; I would have liked to learn and see more. It was consistently exciting and humorous. Took in a great deal of information.
Annett brought the Roman world to life. The tour was great! Exciting, lively, interesting, and humorous. The children were also included. Definitely a highlight!
The tour was great and a lot was really explained. The children also had fun and there was no boredom. We learned a lot of new things and definitely had a great tour guide.
We were out with Janina. Eloquent, factually accurate, and a very entertaining companion. 4 hours flew by. It was not the first booking here and the best experiences from the last trip were confirmed. Gladly again next time.
Mira was a great guide: full of knowledge, charm, passion, and wit. We have already taken part in many tours in the most diverse cities/countries - the one with Mira was by far the best!
Mira explained everything to us perfectly. Even the children lasted through the 3 hours and remained interested. Thank you.
Mira delighted both old and young with a great deal of knowledge. It was a very pleasant tour.
The Colosseum and Roman Forum were closed on this day, there was a tragic accident. The alternative program was top-notch, you have to be able to pull that off first. Many thanks to city guide Mira and the team 👍😊
Susi told the history of Rome and the Colosseum in a very entertaining way. The tour was very, very interesting
Susi conducted a great & varied tour with us. I am taking a lot away from it!
